Most people only see the story of a local cop, corrections officer or other government agent who got caught molesting a child, extorting a sex worker, or raping a woman at a traffic stop, and simply do not know how prevalent the abuse is.

Although there are many sources where this information can be found, it is usually only available for the most recent cases and leaves the reader without a sense that this is a serious, ongoing problem in every community. And it isn't just the street cop who engages in child molestation/ rape. A significant number of police chiefs, chief deputies and top law enforcement agents use their positions of trust to seduce children, and that innate trust we have in law enforcement agents allows the parents of the child to ignore the signs that in any other situation would send up red flags. When a top cop is busted for raping a child when the cop is in his 50s or 60s- do you really believe that this is the first time it happened? That a man who has everything to lose is suddenly and out of nowhere going to develop a lust for raping a small child or a teenage minor? Surely it is more likely that such a 'trustworthy' individual has been indulging in his perversions for decades, fooling everyone around him, terrifying his victims into silence, because after all, who will believe a child when the child claims that the CHIEF OF POLICE is raping them?
